I had been having migraines for several weeks due to neck and shoulder stiffness. I saw Sage for a massage and she worked magic on my neck! This was my first experience with dry needling and it was such a relief. I was able to move my neck and went migraine free for a week. After a follow-up visit, my migraines were gone. I highly recommend Sage Massage.

We are Grand Lake's newest and only standalone stand up paddle board rental. We strive to provide an enjoyable new way to get out and enjoy the water on Grand Lake and Shadow Mountain Lake and take in the scenery.

Absolutely the best massages we've ever had. My wife and I have been getting professional massage therapy for 35+ years in our home town(s) and when travelling on vacation and even business. We both had 90 minute sessions (deep tissue for me with Sarah, my wife had a Swedish-style massage with Jake). When we compared notes afterward, we both readily agreed that the massages would rank #1 as compared to dozens and dozens of other therapy sessions we've had (and most of those were excellent). The facility was very clean and relaxing, and both Sarah and Jake are very friendly and personable. Aside from their obvious expertise in massage therapy and deep technical knowledge of the human body, both therapists were extremely helpful in providing insight and tips on how we could deal with various muscle/joint issues that we are dealing with as we grow older. Overall, we'd highly recommend Mountain Soul Wellness, and the next time we are in Grand Lake, we'll be going back for another massage.

We’ve been up and rented snowmobiles from them in the winter- and always had a great experience. This was our 1st off road summer adventure - trail map helped - 4 hours on rzr wasn’t enough. Late summer was perfect- saw less than a handful of others on trails. Machine ran great with plenty of power - We’ll be back ????
